00:00
All right, so at quarterback this week, another tough go of it, just trying to find the players
00:05
that we know are going to play.
00:06
Boy, I wish we could include these Sunday nights late, because that would be great having
00:09
Sam Darnold or Jared Goff, but we don't have that option, and we don't have Joe Burrow
00:13
because he plays later today.
00:14
So let's take a look at who we do have.
00:16
The highest-priced quarterback is the one that's not going to play, and Josh Allen.
00:19
So let's scratch him off the list at 8,500.
00:22
And then we've got to pick someone else from this, Jaden Daniels, 7,800.
00:27
George is going to pick Baker Mayfield.
00:28
I know it.
00:29
At 7,000, Mahomes is out, 6,600.
00:32
Bo Nix's number has dropped to 6,400.
00:36
He goes against Kansas City.
00:37
I think we've got to circle that as at least interesting.
00:39
Jordan Love, as George mentioned, LeFleur is the only questionable coach, I think, this
00:45
week that's left things really in the dark.
00:47
And then Kyler Murray is at 6,000.
00:50
Is it Mayfield?
00:52
Did I get that right, George, right?
00:55
Isn't that your pick?
00:57
It's more than likely because I'm going to save 800 bucks.
00:59
It's either Mayfield or Daniels, all right?
01:01
I think Daniels likely does—they want to win the game.
01:04
I'm going to take them at their word for it here.
01:06
But I'm going to assume that Tempe—well, not going to assume—Tempe needs to win.
01:11
So I know Mayfield is playing.
01:12
All right, they're playing a bad team in the World Wars.
01:14
He's going to throw three touchdown passes.
01:15
He does every week.
01:16
He's going to throw three touchdown passes, 300-plus yards.
01:18
So, yeah, Mayfield is going to be my choice.
01:20
But I have no—if I had money, if I had money to spare here, that would be a lot of money
01:24
to spare, obviously, 800 bucks.
01:26
But I don't mind Daniels either.
01:27
He's going to have—I think he should have a big game against the Cowboys as well.
01:30
All right, so now this is where the second tier is here.
01:33
I've made my case.
01:34
I do think the Rams have a nice offensive day.
01:37
Jimmy G is starting for them today.
01:39
I know this is like crazy talk.
01:40
Like, why is Craig so on the Rams here today?
01:42
Because I think McVeigh's a good coach, and I think that those offensive players
01:45
are going to get a shot.
01:46
He's not on our board here.
01:48
Drake May is out.
01:49
He's 5,700.
01:50
Scratch his name off the list.
01:52
Tua is probably out, 5,800.
01:54
Scratch him off, too.
01:56
So is Stafford.
01:57
Stroud?
01:58
I don't know.
01:59
Is he going to play a half?
02:00
Herbert?
02:01
Same?
02:02
Is there anyone here?
02:03
I mean, can you even pick anyone on this list here?
02:06
I definitely do not want to go with, no offense, Caleb Williams, but they don't block for this
02:10
guy.
02:11
So I'm out on that, too.
02:12
I guess Bryce Young, crazily enough, is the only one here.
02:17
Otherwise, like, I'm thinking like Aiden O'Connell, like, as opposed to some of these names.
02:22
I know it's painful, but can you pick two starters off this list?
02:27
No.
02:28
If I had to pick two, by the way, I guess I would take Young and Williams.
02:34
I would be Caleb, yeah.
02:36
I'd be Young.
02:37
Young and Caleb Williams.
02:38
You said it, man.
02:39
What about Penix?
02:40
That guy's running for his life.
02:41
What about Penix?
02:42
Penix should have a decent game.
02:45
He should have a decent game here.
02:47
He doesn't run.
02:48
That's kind of annoying.
02:49
Once again, they have to win the game.
02:50
Everyone's playing.
02:51
Yeah, they're going to score points.
02:52
I wouldn't mind Penix, although I think I would still take Young over Penix if it was
02:57
between those two.
03:01
5,400 for Penix.
03:03
All right.
03:04
So, Sam, I know we don't have a graphic for it, but let's just talk it through here.
03:09
So, Sam, pull that up for me as we're talking.
03:12
So, Penix is 5,400.
03:14
What's Garoppolo at this week?
03:16
What's Jimmy Garoppolo?
03:18
5,200.
03:19
Okay, so that's a possibility for me.
03:21
How about Huntley on Miami against the Jets?
03:24
48.
03:25
And now let's go to the other side, who I think is the one that most will use this week,
03:30
Aaron Rodgers.
03:31
What's his price?
03:35
56.
03:36
So, he just didn't make our graphic because Sam doesn't like him.
03:40
$5,600, George.
03:42
Aaron Rodgers.
03:43
Is that the best play of all those secondary names?
03:48
He's going to get that 5,000 touchdown.
03:50
He's going to get it, right?
03:51
So, he's throwing at least one touchdown.
03:53
Can he throw two?
03:55
The game is important to Miami.
03:58
All right?
03:59
Miami has to play this game.
04:00
It's in New York, though.
04:01
It's cold.
04:02
We know they don't – it's more two.
04:03
It doesn't play well in the cold.
04:06
No, I think I would take a chance.
04:08
I'm going to save some money.
04:09
Give me Penix.
04:10
I'll save a couple hundred dollars.
04:11
Give me Penix.
04:12
I think Penix throws for at least two.
